MODERATORS
I like all of those things but currently I really like it to be light enough so it doesn't bother my shoulders. On the go I want it to be light, at home I have everything with peripherals such as a USB hub, external monitors etc.
I really want to get a dock so I can plug everything through a single USB-C port but they are expensive and often have bad Linux support.
Surprise! Those docks also have bad windows support!
The weight of the laptop peripherals isn't the killer there, its the mass of the cooling loop and charging block.
You could do smaller of either, but you're sacrificing power with the power block and both power and longevity with the heat tubes.
